“…Unfortunately, in addition to experiencing a health disadvantage compared to whites, AI/ANs often have lower socioeconomic status than whites, which negatively influences health outcomes (Huyser et al, 2010;Link & Phelan, 1995). American Indian and Alaska Native peoples tend to have lower levels of education and income, have lower returns on education (Gregory et al, 1997;Sandefur & Liebler, 1997;Snipp, 1986;1989;Snipp & Sandefur, 1988), and have higher rates of poverty relative to comparable whites (Huyser et al, 2014). Furthermore, AI/AN households that live near tribal lands are more likely to have lower educational attainment, higher poverty rates, a greater prevalence of femaleheaded households, and higher fertility rates than AI/AN households that reside in metropolitan areas with no tribal lands (Liebler, 2004;Sandefur & Liebler, 1997;Snipp, 1989).…”

Objective: To examine self-rated health and activities of daily living (ADLs) limitations among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) veterans relative to white veterans. Methods: We use the 2010 National Survey of Veterans and limit the sample to veterans who identify as AI/AN or non-Hispanic white. We calculated descriptive statistics, confidence intervals, and used logistic regression. Results: AI/AN veterans are younger, have lower levels of income, and have higher levels of exposure to combat and environmental hazards compared to white veterans. We found that AI/AN veterans are significantly more likely to report fair/poor health controlling for socioeconomic status and experience an ADL controlling for age, health behaviors, socioeconomic status, and military factors. Discussion: The results indicate that AI/AN veterans are a disadvantaged population in terms of their health and disability compared to white veterans. AI/AN veterans may require additional support from family members and/or Veteran Affairs to address ADLs.

This study reports the correlates of homeless episodes among 873 Indigenous adults who are part of an ongoing longitudinal study on four reservations in the Northern Midwest and four Canadian First Nation reserves. Descriptive analyses depict differences between those who have and have not experienced an episode of homelessness in their lifetimes. Multivariate analyses assess factors associated with a history of homeless episodes at the time of their first interview. Results show that individuals with a history of homeless episodes had significantly more individual and family health, mental health, and substance abuse problems. Periods of homelessness also were associated with financial problems. Among the female caretakers who experienced episodes of homelessness over the course of the study, the majority had been homeless at least once prior to the start of the study and approximately one–fifth met criteria for lifetime alcohol dependence, drug abuse, or major depression. Family adversity during childhood was also common for women experiencing homelessness during the study.
